10.08pm: That's back-to-back wins for Dubai Capitals at a vital time, they move on to 10 points and will be favourites to edge out Sharjah Warriors for the second qualifier. Warriors play bottom-placed Desert Vipers tomorrow but DC's NRR cushion is sizeable; and that result has also eliminated last year's runners-up, Vipers, who can get a maximum of 8 points. Capitals' stellar opening stand, 88 from 9.2 overs between Max Holden and Tom Banton, provided enough of a platform for a pretty comfortable victory in the end. Right, that's us pretty much done for tonight, but there's still a final to won over in the SA20. Why not join Andrew Miller for that? Bye!

Stone to Dwayne Bravo, OUT

timbeeeeeeeerrrrrrr! Full and straight, 136kph and cleans him up as Bravo makes room looking for the big hit. Middle stump plucked out of the ground, and Capitals are set to pluck the points, too

Stone to Dwayne Bravo, 2 runs

clubbed down the ground, Kuggeleijn can't hold on! Very tough chance running in from long-off, but he should have held it once he got both hands to the ball

19.1
Stone to Dwayne Bravo, no run

back of a length, 139kph and whizzing through over off stump as Bravo swings blindly and misses

Stone to close out, 25 to requirement

Kuggeleijn to Viyaskanth, 4 byes

banged in short, beats everyone! Billings couldn't reel it in above his head, four byes to the MIE cause

Kuggeleijn to Dwayne Bravo, 1 run

slower ball, slapped out to deep point

Kuggeleijn heads back to his mark glowering

18.4
1
Kuggeleijn to Viyaskanth, 1 run

plopped into the night sky, dropped again! This was a much harder chance for Shanaka, running back from point. He might have been put off by Haider coming in, got both hands to this one... but it squirmed out

18.3
Kuggeleijn to Viyaskanth, no run

hard length, Viyaskanth heaves at the ball unsuccessfully once again

18.2

Kuggeleijn to Dwayne Bravo, 1 run

shovelled away into the leg side

1
Kuggeleijn to Viyaskanth, 1 run

skied towards backward point, but Shanaka makes a hash of it! Misses the hands completely as he positions himself under the ball. Luckily it probably won't matter

length ball angling in and flicked to fine leg

17.5
Stone to Viyaskanth, no run

short ball, heading a touch leg side, Viyaskanth pulls and misses. Billings appeals for caught behind but might just have been trying to ensure against a wide being given

dug in, 138kph and it flies through over the stumps
